Dairy presence of cow justifies on North Carolina farms
On North Carolina farms the dairy cow is justified for erosion control and soil fertility. Dairy extension specialist John A. Arey notes pasture can curb erosion on worn land, while cows convert feeds into milk with only partial plant-food loss, enriching soil with manure and benefiting long term yields.

Size and Development Determine Heifer Breeding Age
The size and development of dairy heifers affect breeding age. Large heavy breeds should freshen at 27 to 30 months, matured breeds at 24 to 27 months. Undersized or underdeveloped heifers should be delayed a few months to reach a satisfactory size before breeding.
Digestible Protein in Grain Ration for Cows
The amount of digestible protein required in a cow’s grain ration decreases with more forage like alfalfa or clover hay. For hay without silage, 12 to 18 percent digestible protein is needed, achievable with mixtures such as 200 lb corn with 100 lb each of oats, wheat bran, and linseed meal, or 100 lb corn, oats, and wheat bran plus 150 lb gluten.
Calf Rearing Guidance For Pasture Use
Farmers who turn calves under six months to pasture expect grass to meet most feed needs. Successful dairymen keep calves on grain skim milk and hay until about nine months old, then rely on pasture to supply all feed. This approach saves pasture and supports growth.
